Hello all,
So today i finally got to test drive a 1.2L petrol POP Ive been dreaming about for the last month or so....I LOVED it!!
However, it wont get up my driveway (pragmatic hubby made me add this as a clause to the buying contract...must get up the driveway).
The hill start assist is on, and I revved it hard in 1st and it would move forward then the revs gradually dropped and it would stall a few feet on...I tried this 4 or 5 times...
is it just because its too gutless or is something else going on?
Ive driven a manual for about 20 years, though hill start assist is a new concept, but as it cuts out some 3-4 seconds after starting to go uphill i dont know if thats it..the pedal is to the metal.
Any ideas??
I really want to buy this car...but its got to be garaged and not left in the street. I should be able to re-testdrive it on Sat.
The larger engine/sporty version is out of my price range.
Hoping you can help,
Heartbroken.
